There will be fresh snow falling soon in the High Country.

Nice TR Jake,
I too enjoyed your pictures ..............
Snow at 5,300 ft! Early October turns on freshies in the Olympics, can't think of anything much better.

I'm glad you enjoyed.
We should possibly get together for an Epic Adventure some time.
I see that a dusting of Snow fell in the Olympics last night. I have a feeling we will be seeing that a lot more this time of year.
